Applications
The PANTERA 22M are outstanding performers in fast, very high resolution
applications. 12 bit performance provides up to 4096 distinct gray levels—perfect for
applications with large interscene light variations. The low -noise, digitized video signal
also makes the camera an excellent choice where low contrast images must be captured in
challenging applications.
Specific applications include:
• Flat panel inspection
• Microscopy
• Aerial reconnaissance
• Medical and non-destructive test x-ray
1.2 Image Sensor
The PANTERA 22M offers frame rates at up to 3.6 frames per second (fps) using 4 output
taps to simultaneously read out data. This camera uses the FTF4052M full-frame CCD
image sensor. The FTF4052M provides the highest possible image quality for its
resolution, with lower dark current, lower noise, and higher dynamic range than any
competitor.
